Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of label printer carbon box assembly technology, specifically a mechanism for rapid 180° flipping. Background Technology
[0002] A labeling machine is a labeling machine that improves the efficiency of product labeling, ensuring accurate, high-quality, and stable labeling. It also avoids a series of problems associated with manual labeling, such as low efficiency, misalignment, uneven adhesive thickness, and wrinkles. The labeling machine's carbon cartridge is one of its accessories.
[0003] However, the carbon cartridges for label printers need to be flipped during assembly, and current technology requires manual operation, which has a low degree of automation. This increases labor intensity and reduces work efficiency. Moreover, manual flipping can easily wrinkle the carbon tape, thus reducing the yield rate. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a rapid flipping mechanism to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, such as high labor intensity, low work efficiency, and easy wrinkling of carbon ribbon due to manual flipping.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a rapid flipping mechanism, comprising a bracket, a Z-axis assembly mounted on the surface of the bracket, the Z-axis assembly being composed of a Z-axis cylinder and a lifting plate, the Z-axis cylinder being fixedly connected to the surface of the bracket, a lifting plate being disposed above the Z-axis cylinder, and the bottom end of the lifting plate being fixedly connected to the output end of the Z-axis cylinder; an X-axis assembly mounted on the surface of the lifting plate, and an R-axis flipping assembly connected to the surface of the X-axis assembly, the R-axis flipping assembly being used to drive the product to flip.
[0006] Preferably, sleeves are installed at the four corner positions of the top of the bracket, and guide rods are slidably connected inside the sleeves, with the top ends of the guide rods fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom of the lifting plate.
[0007] Preferably, the X-axis assembly includes an X-axis cylinder, an L-shaped plate, and a carrier plate. The X-axis cylinder is fixed to the surface of the lifting plate, and the output end of the X-axis cylinder is fixed to the L-shaped plate. The carrier plate is mounted on the surface of the L-shaped plate.
[0008] Preferably, the R-axis flipping assembly consists of a servo motor, a rotating disk, a cylinder gripper, a blocking plate, and a blocking rod, with the servo motor fixed to the surface of the carrier plate.
[0009] Preferably, the output end of the carrier plate is rotatably connected to a rotating disk, and a cylinder gripper is fixed on the surface of the rotating disk for clamping the product.
[0010] Preferably, there are two sets of blocking rods, which are fixed to both ends of the top of the carrier plate. A blocking plate is installed on one end of the surface of the rotating disk, and the blocking plate cooperates with the blocking rods to block the rotation.
[0011] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: When this rapid 180° flipping mechanism is implemented, the Z-axis cylinder drives the lifting plate to rise and fall under the action of the sleeve and guide rod. Simultaneously, the X-axis cylinder drives the carrier plate on the L-shaped plate surface to move laterally. During movement, the servo motor drives the cylinder grippers on the rotating disk surface to rotate, and then the cylinder grippers clamp the material. After clamping the material, the plate flips, and the flipping is blocked by a blocking rod and a blocking plate. This utility model is a miniature three-axis material handling mechanism that realizes automatic feeding of carbon ribbons for label printer carbon cartridges. It is used in automated assembly equipment for label printer carbon cartridge products, and solves the problems of easily wrinkled carbon ribbons and low assembly efficiency caused by manual assembly. It reduces labor intensity, improves work efficiency, and increases the yield rate. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The structure of the quick 180° flipping mechanism provided by this utility model is as follows: Figure 1 as well as Figure 3 As shown, the system includes a bracket 1, on the surface of which a Z-axis assembly 2 is mounted. The Z-axis assembly 2 consists of a Z-axis cylinder 21 and a lifting plate 22. The Z-axis cylinder 21 is fixedly connected to the surface of the bracket 1. The lifting plate 22 is positioned above the Z-axis cylinder 21, and the bottom end of the lifting plate 22 is fixedly connected to the output end of the Z-axis cylinder 21. Sleeves 11 are mounted at the four corners of the top of the bracket 1, and guide rods 221 are slidably connected inside the sleeves 11. The top end of the guide rods 221 is fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom of the lifting plate 22. An X-axis assembly 3 is mounted on the surface of the lifting plate 22. The X-axis assembly 3 includes an X-axis cylinder 31, an L-shaped plate 32, and a carrier plate 33. The X-axis cylinder 31 is fixedly connected to the surface of the lifting plate 22, and the output end of the X-axis cylinder 31 is fixedly connected to the L-shaped plate 32. The carrier plate 33 is mounted on the surface of the L-shaped plate 32.
[0019] During implementation, the Z-axis cylinder 21 drives the lifting plate 22 to rise and fall under the action of the sleeve 11 and the guide rod 221, while the X-axis cylinder 31 drives the carrier plate 33 on the surface of the L-shaped plate 32 to move laterally.
[0020] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 as well as Figure 4As shown, the surface of the X-axis assembly 3 is connected to the R-axis flipping assembly 4, which is used to drive the product to flip. The R-axis flipping assembly 4 consists of a servo motor 41, a rotating disk 42, a cylinder gripper 43, a blocking plate 44, and a blocking rod 45. The servo motor 41 is fixed to the surface of the carrier plate 33. The output end of the carrier plate 33 is rotatably connected to the rotating disk 42, and the surface of the rotating disk 42 is fixed with a cylinder gripper 43, which is used to clamp the product. Two sets of blocking rods 45 are provided, and the two sets of blocking rods 45 are fixed to the two ends of the top of the carrier plate 33. A blocking plate 44 is installed on one end of the surface of the rotating disk 42, and the blocking plate 44 and the blocking rod 45 cooperate to block the flipping operation.
[0021] During implementation, the servo motor 41 drives the cylinder gripper 43 on the surface of the rotating disk 42 to rotate, and then the cylinder gripper 43 clamps the material. After clamping the material, it is rotated 180 degrees. During the rotation, it is blocked by the blocking rod 45 and the blocking plate 44.
[0022] Working principle: When in use, the Z-axis cylinder 21 first drives the lifting plate 22 to rise and fall under the action of the sleeve 11 and the guide rod 221. At the same time, the X-axis cylinder 31 drives the carrier plate 33 on the surface of the L-shaped plate 32 to move laterally. During the movement, the servo motor 41 drives the cylinder gripper 43 on the surface of the rotating disk 42 to rotate. Then the cylinder gripper 43 clamps the material. After clamping the material, it flips 180 degrees. During the flip, it is blocked by the blocking rod 45 and the blocking plate 44.
